Another small problem could use some advice...

So I bought one of the spring loaded chain tensioners for my kit since I had one on my last build and it worked great. But it seems the bolts it comes with will possibly strip the threads in the holes where the clutch plate mounts up. I don't want that to happen. I went to ACE hardware today and they helped me determine the thread pitch on the stock bolts that go into that part of the engine are M6x1.0 thread pitch. Can someone post some links to where I can get bolts that will fit there properly so I can mount up the spring chain tensioner? I hate using the stock one with the kit they are crap. Another thing... I remember seeing full threaded studs you can buy that have an opening on the end to put an allen key so when you tighten nuts on the stud, the stud won't turn with the nut. Here is a pic of what I'm looking for. Could someone provide a link to where I can get them in the M6x1.0 size? Thanks!

Search: socket set screw 6mm x length

I found some on AMAZON up to 60mm long, $7.99 10pcs - probably longer if you ask ACE
